Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi MET Help Desk,
My name is Josh Winslow and I am trying to install MET to use with NetCDF
files. I am having issues installing the required packages, specifically
netcdf-c and netcdf-cxx.
I am currently receiving this error message:
configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 library. Use
--disable-hdf5, or see config.log for errors.
I have hdf5 installed, I am wondering if I need to include flags in the
command to link to hdf5, or if you can help in any way?
Thanks!
Josh

Hi Josh,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I'm going to direct this to the attention of Julie Prestopnik, our
team MET
and METplus installation expert. She can help you figure out this
library
linking issue.

Hi Josh.
I see that you are having some trouble installing NetCDF-C and NetCDF-
CXX,
which are dependent libraries for MET.
It could be as simple as setting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the
location of the HDF5 library files, or it could be something else.
I'd be
happy to take a look at the config.log and make.log files for each
NetCDF
library if you would like to pass those along.
Also, we do have a script that will install MET and its dependent
libraries
that can be used if you'd like. It, and it's instructions, can be
found on
that Downloads
<https://dtcenter.org/community-code/model-evaluation-tools-
met/download>
page under "Sample Script For Compiling External Libraries And MET".
Also, below I have put a link to a step by step tutorial and video on
how
to install MET using this script and config file. One difference to
note
is that I have made some improvements to the compile_MET_all.sh
script,
which is linked to on the Downloads page, but it should still function
the
same.
https://metplus-
training.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/Environment/met_installation.html
I will be out for the rest of the afternoon, but can revisit helping
you on
Monday. Have a wonderful weekend!

Julie,
Thanks for your reply! I did not totally understand the installation
script
that you had written so I tried to do it manually, but the script is
much
cleaner. I had some issues making jasper so I went into the script and
disabled jasper and grib2 as I do not think that I will need to use
that. I
think I got to the MET installation but then got an error when
configuring:
./configure --prefix=/Users/joshwinslow/Desktop/GLISA/MET/MET
--bindir=/Users/joshwinslow/Desktop/GLISA/MET/MET/bin BUFRLIB_NAME=-
lbufr
GRIB2CLIB_NAME= --disable-grib2 --enable-python > configure.lo\
g 2>&1
configure returned with non-zero (77) status
I have attached my config.log and install_met_env files if those are
of any
help. It looks like my plan to disable jasper and grib2 was perhaps a
little bit short-sighted. If you have any idea on how to best "make"
jasper
so that that and grib2 can be installed, that would be great, or if
you can
see how I can install MET with a quick fix that would be great as
well.
After a little research I think maybe the hardware could play a role
in the
problem? I am running MacOS on Apple's ARM-based chip if that is
helpful
for reference.
Thanks for your help!

Subject: MET Installation Errors
From: Julie Prestopnik

Hi Josh.
Thanks for the information and for sending these files. Thank you
also
for letting me know that you are compiling this on a Mac. The MET
package
was developed on Debian Linux and that is typically what we support.
Do you
have access to a Linux machine? Alternatively, do you have Docker
available on your laptop? One solution could be to use Docker on your
Mac. Here is a link to a video tutorial on how to set up METplus
using
Docker containers:
https://metplus-
training.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/Environment/docker.html
While this tutorial was created for METplus-3.1, you should be able to
install METplus-4.0, hopefully by simply replacing 3.1 with 4.0 in the
places it is referenced.
If you would prefer to try to get the code installed directly on your
Mac,
I can still try to help with that. Unfortunately, configure.log
doesn't
contain very much useful information. Could you please instead send
the
config.log file, and I'll see if I can help?
However, before you do that, I do think it would be good if we could
get
the GRIB2 functionality working for you. The GRIB funcationality is
frequently used in MET. I just helped a user who also had a problem
installing jasper. To better assist you, I would need to see the
config.log file from jasper, however, if you have the same problem she
did,
you would see the following message in that config.log file,
indicating
that the jasper library needs to have the JPEG library installed:
> fatal error: jpeglib.h: No such file or directory
This is frequently a standard library that is already installed on
many
machines, but it sounds like you may need to install it. Here are the
instructions for installing the JPEG library, which you should be able
to
copy and paste:
> cd /Users/joshwinslow/Desktop/GLISA/MET/MET
> wget https://ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v9d.tar.gz
> tar -zxf jpegsrc.v9d.tar.gz
> cd jpeg-9d
> ./configure --prefix=/Users/joshwinslow/Desktop/GLISA/MET/MET >&
config.log
> make >& make.log
> make install >& make_install.log
Since the BUFR library has already been installed you can uncomment
the
following lines from your config files:
export MET_BUFRLIB=${EXTERNAL_LIBS}/lib
export BUFRLIB_NAME=-lbufr
so that you don't have to wait for that library to be installed
again. Then, you can rerun the compile_MET_all.sh script.
Please give that a try and let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Julie,
I tried using the commands that you gave me to install jasper and
received
a non-zero error status. I've attached the config.log. As far as
installing
directly on my machine, that would probably be preferable as I don't
have
access to a linux machine and I have no experience with Docker, but I
am
willing to give Docker a try if you think that would be helpful.
Thanks!

Subject: MET Installation Errors
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Wed Jun 23 09:17:08 2021
Hi Josh.
I have never seen this problem before, and unfortunately, a google
search
did not turn up much. I have access to a Mac that I can try to
recreate
the problem on, and install MET on, over the next week or so.
Do you have a system administrator that you could request help from?
In the past, we have suggested Docker for cases like these, and I do
think
it would be helpful. The links for Docker are on our Existing Builds
page
under Docker:
https://dtcenter.org/community-code/metplus/metplus-4-0-existing-
builds
I'll follow up as I attempt to install on a Mac.
